My hope for our world and people who walk it is to
Live in concert regardless of differences,quit modernizing and glamorizing hate.
Be bold enough to love everyone with a deep understanding that tomorrow is not promised, and time is to be courted respectfully.
Let’s stop weaponizing food,love,color,diversity,age.Let’s be human…again.

Country: Nigeria

As the four winds meet from across far lands,

A most inspiring artwork choice, Em, for this year's Holiday Poetry Collaboration Call.
Thank you most gratefully for another annual invite.

In a world among the vast universe
Like the stars, man populates this rock
We see each other's pains
We might as well all be distant as the stars for alone we live
in the vast darkness of our individual misery

[emmajoygreen]

How sensitive your finely written offering is, thank you. Would you PLEASE, add your country.

“My hope for our world and the people who walk it is…”
- Let brotherly love spread in the hearts of woman and men.
- Let compassion's smile be present on people's faces again.
- Let concern for one another be an emotion in hearts felt.
- Let peace on earth and good will to all be a place dwelt. (Dave W. USA)

[emmajoygreen]

Many thanks for offering such honest needs.

[Ern M. Yoshimoto]

My hope for our world and the people who walk it is
they are released from all sufferring,
not in death,
but in this lifetime.
That all darkness is dispelled,
the way only the eternal candle can.


2024 Ern.

It is the now that allows life to give and do what is needed, not merely to self but others.

“My hope for our world and the people who walk it” is a boundless embrace of compassion and unity, where each step fosters understanding and kindness, illuminating paths of shared dreams and joys.
May we tread softly, honouring the whispers of the earth and each other, and together, weave a tapestry of peace and resilience that transcends all divides. RBK, Australia 🇦🇺

My hope for the World and the people who walk in it - Christmas 2024 - is that Poets can receive more love and compassion from the Reading Public, and that Poetry can be recognised as a great healing and spiritual Art in our divided modern World, capable of bringing joy and peace to all who participate.

I would like to see the hate in this country stop. There is so much division in the US now, before and after the election. And we have such unrest all over the world and the makings of another World War.
Let's all trim a tree, with peaceful ornaments and pretty lights and sing Christmas Carols all over the world and keep the songs going well after this season has passed.

“My hope for our world and the people who walk it is…”

When you see yourself,you see the world,
Every leaf sheared is falling-a blind eye,
For all that it is, Heaven and hell are me and you.
Never forget,I see you!

My hope for our world and the people who walk it is…”

To see beyond the hevenly expectation
to the place where being exceeds the haveing and life is more than the sum
of it's parts.

“ My hope for the world and people in it” ..

Let not your heart be cold
eyes blinkered obscuring sight
look for the hand in need
reach out and the future will be bright!
